The Trump hating media has found a new obsession and her name is Stormy Daniels. The porn star is alleging a 2006 one-night stand with then reality TV star and businessman Donald Trump and the media cannot get enough of her story. In recent weeks, Daniels has been the focus of countless CNN and MSNBC segments. Her interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes was hyped for weeks, leading to a massive audience of 22 million viewers for the show. This was biggest audience for 60 Minutes in the last ten years.

Sadly, the interview was a disgrace, a virtual soft-core pornographic expose of this supposed relationship. Cooper asked her about intimate details of the alleged encounter in an interview that would have been a better fit for airing on the Playboy Channel.

In the interview, Daniels claimed that the relationship was consensual and did not involve any physical abuse. She was determined to let the viewers know that she was not a victim like those involved in the #MeToo movement.

Daniels told a much different story than multiple women who made convincing allegations of abuse, groping, and rape against Bill Clinton. These women, such as Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and Kathleen Willey, were treated like trash by the liberal media, who gave their claims almost no coverage. When they were mentioned, it was usually in a very disparaging manner. Of course, their main objective was to protect the Clinton presidency at any cost and if courageous women had to be pilloried it did not matter to the media.

Of course, for these whistle blowers, the abuse was not limited to the media. Even before Clinton was elected President, any allegations of an affair or inappropriate behavior by "Slick Willie" were treated very seriously by campaign operatives like Betsey Wright. Their preferred response was to call the claims "bimbo eruptions" and immediately start to belittle the women. Wright, along with other campaign thugs like James Carville and Paul Begala also were effective in impugning the reputation and character of the women. Regarding Jones, Carville said that "if you drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find." This horrific insult was levied against a hard-working middle-class woman from Arkansas who had the tremendous courage to accuse Clinton of exposure and sexual harassment.

Businesses fed up with constant property damage have employed sonic security to protect their shopfronts in the far north Queensland tourist city of Cairns.

The security devices emit a high-pitched noise, and were installed at the request of shop tenants who also feared for their safety, but now some are asking if the method is ethical.

Masahiko Nakayama is a cafe owner whose shop windows have been smashed about 20 times over the past three years.

"I have some issues. Sometimes in the middle of the night strangers [are] sitting out front of my shop," he said.

"Sometime they're drunken and after that try to smash windows, very dangerous."

The irritating, high-pitched noise can be heard up to 300 metres away, but within a 50-metre radius the pitch is punishing and provokes a reaction from passers-by. 

Installation and use of the device is legal and does not require a council permit, but questions have been raised about the ethics.

China's leaders must be sorely tempted to activate the "nuclear option" and punish the capitalist running dog, the tango dancer in the White House.

They could at any time start to liquidate their $US1.2 trillion ($1.5 trillion) holdings of US Treasury debt, switching the proceeds into euro, sterling, krona, Aussie, or peso debt to stop the yuan exchange rate soaring.

Want privacy on Facebook? Cough up some cash.

The social-media site plans to extort users who want to keep their personal data away from advertisers — by demanding they pay for the privilege, the company’s second in command, Sheryl Sandberg, revealed on Friday.

“We have different forms of opt-out. We don’t have an opt-out at the highest level,” the Facebook chief operating officer said in an interview on NBC’s “Today.”

“That would be a paid product.”

The 48-year-old billionaire’s stunning announcement came days after Facebook admitted that the private information of as many as 87 million users was leaked to data firm Cambridge Analytica, which worked on President Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

And don’t expect this to be the company’s last privacy scandal, Sandberg added.

“I’m not going to sit here and say that we’re not going to find more,” she said, “because we are.”

And you thought your life was your own...

some of us could be shot as well...

A Palestinian journalist shot by Israeli forces during a mass demonstration along the Gaza border has died of his wounds.

Yaser Murtaja, a photographer with the Gaza-based Ain Media agency, was shot in the stomach in Khuza'a in the south of the Gaza Strip on Friday, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

Murtaja, 30, was hit despite wearing a blue flak jacket marked with the word "press", discerning him as a journalist.

unhappy yoof...

The results of the latest annual study sponsored by the UK-based charity Prince's Trust, has revealed that average happiness metrics for residents between the ages of 16-25 are lower now than at any point over the last ten years in which the study has been run.

 

The findings of the so-called UK Youth Index should "ring alarm bells," according to research authors, who suggest that the wellbeing of young people in the country has fallen to its lowest point since 2009 — the first commission of the comprehensive nationwide poll.

Based on a pool of 2,194 respondents between the ages of 16-25, the research suggests that at least three out of five in the country's youth population consistently feel anxious about money and work.

even the sunday telegraph is up in arms...

spying on you

cover

 

This cover is ambiguous: does it mean us or USA?... We know the drill... Using the US to spy on us via their tentacular network of algorithm fudges, cameras on our bedrooms, and including Facebook... Read from top before it's too late. Too late. 

In many of the pictures of our Minister-for-Spying-on-Everybody, he is holding various folders that look important. It's the standard prop issue for geezers who are too importantly busy to know what they're doing. The prop is made of a few items glued together that can be picked up in a hurry without spilling the content since all the pages are like a single block of wood (some of these props are carved from a blook of wood). No need to look inside and impossible to look inside while the minister makes another serious speech from memory (he's got an implant in his left brain) — speech number 23X-b simplified for Aussie morons from a Nuremberg Rally Hitler's rant about the "motherland"...

sensitive leaks...

The Defence Department has referred the leaking of sensitive and classified information to the Australian Federal Police for investigation.

News Corp published correspondence between senior public servants at the Home Affairs and Defence Departments, which the ABC confirmed was about possible changes to the Government's cyber spy agency to monitor Australian citizens.

Defence Secretary Greg Moriarty discussed the unauthorised release with AFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin on Sunday, the Department said in a statement.

The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) collects and assesses foreign intelligence information before passing it on to Australia's domestic and foreign spy agencies.

The ASD does not collect information on Australian citizens, but some senior public servants want to change that.

If the Government approved the proposal, which was first reported by News Corp, the agency could be given permission to access the emails, bank records and text messages of Australians. 

The ABC understands the proposal has not been discussed at a ministerial level and Defence Minister Marise Payne — who is responsible for the agency — says no formal proposal has been submitted. 

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop today indicated she would not support the proposal if it came forward.

Watch this space for some back-flips, somersaults, pikes and other twisted convolution of the Abbott/Turnbull government to deny while doing the whatever... You're stuffed. Read above comments...

‘common sense will prevail’... crap.

 

I don’t care if you worship in a synagogue, a church, a temple, or a mosque. I don’t care if you’re black, white, yellow, brown or green. I don’t give a monkey’s what you eat for dinner & I don’t care who you sleep with…provided it’s a consenting adult. I cannot abide bullies, liars and sociopaths. Benjamin Netanyahu and the current government of Israel are war criminals… & your guilt-trip won’t work on me.

Finally, to those who are having thoughts like ‘this is all a misunderstanding’ or ‘common sense will prevail’, or ’a few concessions is enough to fix this’… it isn’t, it won’t, & it never will be… that isn’t how this works.

You cannot appease a smear campaign.
